Any difference between Bath and Shower??

Staying clean and maintaining a good daily hygiene is a part of healthiness. There are many ways to achieve this like brushing your teeth everyday, cutting nails and taking a bath. One second, taking a bath or taking a shower? What is the difference between the two? Or is there really any difference? Yes, there is a difference.
The average human being living in a civilized world takes a shower everyday. A shower is fast. You apply soap on your body, make lather and rinse off. That's it!! It saves time, it is quick and efficient. Taking a shower is better (and faster) than taking a bath as it kills more germs and washes off the dead skin when you rinse. All the dirt from your body flows to the sink along with the dirty water. Baths should be taken to relax and not for cleaning. While bathing all the germs and dirt from your body stays into the bath tub. Even if you want to take a bath it is always recommended to get into shower first and clean your body with soap. That ways your bath water will not have germs and dirt from your body because you have already removed them.

I know it is the feeling of the bath, lying in the bath tub for a long time has no other alternative (unless you have a Jacuzzi :p) but always remember to take a shower before a bath. You'll be cleaner and actually fresh.

So next time if "someone" asks you to take a bath or take a shower, answer both and explain why :). Let's have a cleaner you.
